The last day to submit a Q-drop request is Friday, November 20th by 5 pm.

Visit with your academic advisor to process a Q-drop prior to the deadline.

Undergraduate students will normally be permitted four Q-drops during their undergraduate studies; however: State
law prohibits students from having more than six dropped courses from
all state institutions attended during their undergraduate career if
they entered higher education as a first-time enrolled freshman
beginning the 2007 fall semester or after. Q-drops in one-hour courses will not count in the Texas A&M limit of four but
will be included in the State-mandated limit of six dropped courses. If
a lecture and companion lab are dropped at the same time, this will
count as one Q-drop rather than two.

Have you seen the Aggies Lead by Example video? See if you can spot Howdy Farm representatives and any other nods to horticulture.

Texas A&M University announced the launch of a $4 billion comprehensive campaign to address major societal challenges facing the state, nation and world. It is the largest fund-raising endeavor ever undertaken in Texas, and only one other public university in the nation has ever announced a higher goal.
